The Slave Economy



In the 50s there was a booming economy. Everyone could afford a house, car, and many other convenient household items. It’s what I would state as the last real economy. It’s an economy in which the markets were unpredictable, risky, and highly competitive. Due to results of a true and unregulated economy, people had the financial flexibility to do what they want; including saving enough or having the resources to start their own business. In the 1960s and 1970s, the government has increased regulation and influence in the economy. Banks became more involved and the stock market began to dominate many markets. Today, political and foreign political involvement is involved in not only at the local level but on a global level. Often markets are stacked with unnecessary regulations that benefit larger companies and political agendas then allowing for competition and real and true markets. The result of that is a decline in competition, an increase in companies that are old and dominating the market, and an overall dependency in large corporation for jobs and economic growth. People depend on large dinosaur despite providing mostly service job that mostly make a maximum of $30,000 annually. Due to political affiliation of businesses and banks, a culture of corruption becoming very much believable as many businesses lobby paying off their political constituents to maintain leadership and profitability in their markets. The corruption in government seemingly contains much more variables as it gets involved with foreign and global political agendas, influences involving foreign affairs, and perhaps even some sort of dark irrational political agenda involving occult agendas motivated by using trust and secrecy to obtain power and resources. Because of all the variables influencing politics and its ties with business and the stock markets, the overall results of these variables is a high cost of living; a strangled economy; a tiring working situation where people don’t want to retire or can’t afford to retire; people don’t want to work do to high demanding job-expectations and suffocating work policies, also perhaps do to such low wages; and people with degrees finding it difficult to make a living with competition in their fields, even though their fields may involve a demanding work condition to squeeze every worth from labor productivity. The result is a demanding and non-financially flexible economic environment where people work to live and not live to work. This demanding economic environment is called the Slave Economy or Hostage Economy. It’s a term I made up to create an awareness of what an economy used to be and comparing it to how it is today with its comparable circumstances. The obvious future of such progression in this direction is increased poverty and a growing lack of opportunities for those who can’t succeed beyond a certain level of mental expectation. In the future, there is the idea to replace people with robots as an efficient and cost effective way of automation. Scientists that I’ve met and talked to state this is evolution surpassing its previous form to improve. I feel it’s a well-planned agenda in which the ideology to have a body rule over instead of allowing a body to govern itself freely. It’s an agenda to favor those who have irrational beliefs of power who believe fulfilling an illusionary irrational agenda will lead them to some sort of higher being. Moreover, I believe the solution to obtaining a free and real economy is deregulation of unnecessary regulations; split large dinosaur companies into smaller companies and free-up competition; incentivize banks to offer more involvement with small businesses, otherwise provide start-up funding for banks at the local state and city level;  incentivize more small businesses, especially technology businesses with grants through tax-funding and tax-reduction; reform education to support updated methods, curriculums, and training for our current world and markets; somehow decrease the cost of living to where people can sustain a comfortable living which will provide them with more flexibility and ability to get ahead financially; support the growth of farms with incentives  or tax breaks to purchase equipment for the purpose to increase production to make cost of food resources more cheaper. Perhaps budgeting later to make cost of minerals and natural resources cheaper by also providing funding for better equipment for miners for the purpose of increase natural resource and mineral production. I also believe it could be a good idea to negotiate and make deals with millionaires and billionaires, perhaps using incentives or temporary tax reductions could also help fund and increase productivity and overall the country’s wealth.  I personally would also like to experiment to relax more of the country’s work ethic to allow more flexibility for individuals, perhaps  such as making the average eight hour work week into six or seven hours a day. I believe a happy society is a productive society. Concluding this article, I have explained what a slave economy is and what I would do to fix it.
